The 'Parcour S' by Seven Cycles

The folks at Seven Cycles are perfectionists, obsessed with enhancing the cycling experience through optimal fit, function, performance and comfort. Taking their cure from Miles van der Rohe's dictum that less is more, they designed the Parcour S as a minimalist durable, fixed-gear road bike.

As is true of every Seven bike, the Parcour S is built to order and tailored to the owner's size, preferences and riding style. The construction of the frame is approached with particular zeal. Consider the matter of frame alignment: Each frame is subject to 50 alignment checks, holding to tolerances as tight as plus or minus two thousandths of an inch—thinner than a sheet of paper. This obsession is rewarded in precision handling. As to weight, the straight-gauge titanium frame weighs, on average, a mere 3.2 pounds, making it a pleasure to pedal down suburban streets on your way to, say, the beach.
